Man, I'll be honest. If it stops here this mercato has been a disappointment, and kinda useless actually for our European goal.
Hehe, c'mon guys. Just a few months back the majority agreed that we needed to address the issues on the offensive end. We needed more creativity and pace on our offense. We clearly had issues creating in the CL. We had guys like Sanchez, Iturbe and Nani on mind and now we're trying to justify signing more midfielders and strikers who won't even make resolve our issues let alone make our starting eleven?
This team never needed depth, we had and still have great depth. Actually a formation switch to 4-3-1-2 gives us more options in less positions(Asamoah goes back to midfield, 2 central defenders instead of 3). We needed 1 or 2 players to make a difference and raise the level of this team.
We are so close.
I disagree with this. Yes Conte didnt rotated... but when your only midfielder to rotate are padoin and Isla,, i can understand why he was frustrated in some way...and why we overused Pogba and Vidal so much. On top of our tired players...our formation was simply not working like it should because of lack of quality on the wings.
I know is kind of frustrating that everyone is/was waiting for a new shiny toy to destroy in the CL, but i really think that this depth signings will do us a world of good. Why?:
First and foremost... im pretty sure that the board will try to use this season as a transition one. We just lost our coach, and we are one year away from some nice monetary deals. If we aim to go further in the CL, we can also get more money, like we should.
1- We all know that we crashed like noobs in the CL, but we can also agree that our team didnt failed because of lack of quality. Our team had a lot going for them to pass the group stages... but blunders, bad substitutions and terrible approach to games simply took us down. If we can fix those aspects this season...we surely can pass the group stages and even the first KO phase without much problems.
2- Our starting 11 was good enought. But our tactics were lacking.Apart fromt he good displays against madrid,,which IMO were the hight point of the campaign....we simply looked in "automatic" mode in most of the games. Grinding results and depending on muscles and moments of magic to win. We cannot depend on those 2 factors the whole season. And on top of that we had too many overused players who could not be rotated.
Im confident that we will get surprised with he performances of Coman and Morata, and they will contest the first team spots... turning them into actually reliable starters instead of "more padoins". They seem to have quality. Evra is a nice adittion , and lets see what pereyra has.
The important thing, is that if we improve on what we did last year...with a new more attack minded formation, for sure we can do a nice job this season.
Im totally convinced this team can do much much more. Lets se what plans allegri has.
When you have Pogba, Pirlo, Tevez, llorente, you should not complain about "offensive issues", especially considering our scoring charts in serie a.
What we need is to step into the CL with the correct mentality. And a bench that allows rotation so we can keep players sharp and fit.
We are adressing these issues. It would be nice if we can add Shaqiri for Allegri's preferred style, but its not mandatory
Exactly. We have players with different offensive characteristics who can maybe perform if given some sort of different role. Coman, Pogba, Giovinco, Vidal. All are good going forward.
What we need now, is for Allegri to get the better of them and try to have a different approach than Conte, maybe he can discover something.
